Our Royal Northern Wedding Schedule

 

Your wedding starts early in the morning, like all Thai weddings at about 4:45 am

We will pick you up and I will take you to the morning market, where we will choose the food and floral offerings for the monks. Then we will go back to my house and prepare the offerings and give the offerings outside my house (shop). Don't worry, I will instruct you in the proper procedure of monk offerings and explain it all to you. Then when all the offerings are given and any blessing are received, we will relax and try some of the Thai delectations we found in the early morning market. This can, if you wanted, all can be done on your behalf. We really find most couples find it is worth the early morning.

Then you will return to your hideaway, where you can relax or rest. I will return later, with the hair dresser. Best you and your guests have a late brunch or an early luncheon as we will pick up you all about 1:00 pm, to go to the temple for a formal ceremonial Buddhist blessing of the wedding. At the temple we will release the nine fish and birds for merit. From there we head off to the wedding venue, where the knot tying ceremony will be preformed and the couple will arrive about 4:00 pm by what ever mode of transport they have chosen

Then the wedding parade will begin. Followed by the knot tying ceremony, all finishing about dusk in time for some garden photos hopefully.

Then the feast begins! Offering your guests the rare opportunity to experience real Lanna Thai cuisine served in true Lanna style. (Sorry mom they made me eat with my fingers) Of course we have Thai dancers and live musicians too.

The evening of drinking, eating and enjoying is highlighted by a professional pyrotechnics (fireworks) display to celebrate your wedding.

After dark your guest are welcome to partake in the traditional releasing of fire balloons for luck and prosperity (Except in dry season, as we are in the mountains)

Then more conversation and time together before the guest are returned to the city by the vans so the newly weds may relax and enjoy the start of their new life together.
